Had a really impromptu trip to Bintan with Paul, Mum and Sasa! I was really shocked Sasa agreed to go so fast and had a really quick approval from her Mummy too! The entire trip was kinda like an 8/10 because everything was so freaking pricey that we did not participated in much water activities but the food was damn good and last of all, company was da bomb!!! I think Club Med would be much more fufilling though :(
Here is a selfie of us safely arrive at Bintan Laggoon Resort (via Sindo 6 )
We took a buggy to the resort! It was a fun and bumpy ride! oh and the last day, sasa and I had a chance to stand behind the buggy and I was like crazily waving at everyone. It was like a mini bumper car ride!!!
Really spacious room isn't it? But not that cheap either :( I didnt really like the flooring. It was tiled and felt sticky and sandy though so I had to wear the hotel slippers at all times :(
Just a quick peek at the lovely beach, the water is freaking clear I swear and the sand is freaking fine!
Resorty. Those wooden benches seriously gives me the IDARE feel as I vividly remember there were such benches located outside my room and many were lazing around there at night to gaze at the burst of stars. I miss those days though :(
The first meal we had at some fresh seafood restaurant. Freaking pricey okay! 200 bucks for like 4 people. But everything tasted really great and flavourfulllllllll.
Banananananan Boat. It cost 18.90 per Pax for just a 15 minute ride! But it was really thrilling and i think we had like an extra 10 minutes though because the others who rode with us were super spontaneous and cheered on for another round! I had muscle aches all over now because i was locking my arms and butt as there were many "near-death" incidents throughout the entire thrilling ride!!!
Pool. We spent our day 1 and day 3 at the pool. It was not fascinating as there was no slides or exciting fountains there, but we had great company with our splashy!
Hearty Dinner. We really spent alot on meals hence, por decided to just takeaway some stuffs for on dinner on the second night, it was just plain fried rice and noodles, did not look appetizing either but it was really delicious!
During this trip, I am really glad and happy to see how "lovey-dovey" my mum was willing to be towards my dad. There were quite a few heart-warming sights, but of course, there were some disgusting and horrible incidents too :( Nevertheless, I was really happy too! Sasa was shocked and really happy for por as well :)
It was an amazing trip and really an ideal one that met my 2 main expectations
1) nua-all-day-long feel, worry-free, rush-free
2) beachy, sandy, watery
I am really thankful for my dad who like rush back from his trip to book and settled many stuffs which was quite frustrating as he needed to accomodate my mum's weird thoughts and feelings :/ and ofcourse, my bestie whom i know for 10 years :) accompanying me. We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
